Mortal Shell 2 truly stands out in a sea of countless souls-like games, the game manages to be unique and innovative enough to shine on its own. The world is gorgeous and the dark and grim aspect of it just adds a whole lot more of eye candy to it. The story itself is pretty mid definitely nothing special. This time around the world has a bit more to do with a good chunk of dungeons to find and do throughout. The combat feels good, there only being around a handful of weapons and sidearms doesn’t take away from how enjoyable the combat can be.
With there being a small amount of weapons they all end up being super unique and fitting many playstyles. You like quicker attacks? axe and dagger. You like hitting hard and feeling like a power house? There’s a giant Hammer. Want a good mix of both? what about dual wielding katanas that turn into a two handed axe when heavy attacking? All the sidearms are also unique from a shotgun to a caged baby skeleton that shrieks.
There’s also plenty of items that will give you weapons and character plenty of buffs and boost that you can choose from adding on more builds and playstyles. Now here’s the real meat and bones your Shell. Shells are like classes, there’s 8 of them that you find around the map and they all have their own special abilities. You can switch between them at any resting point and they have skill trees attached to all of them. With the new update you could now level them all up to max so you can freely try them all out and see which one you enjoy the most without fear of missing out. The Shells add a lot to the gameplay and enjoyment of the game, they got a berserker shell who would literally eat the hearts of his enemies, A Shell that will freeze time put up his weapons to just throw hands with brass knuckles, and every single one of them have equally unique abilities and stories behind them. Overall Mortal Shell 2 is a hell of a fun game that offers one of the most unique world design.
